Adolescents’ beliefs in their personal control affects their psychological well-being and the direction of their lives. Self-Efficacy in Changing Societies analyzes the diverse ways in which beliefs of personal efficacy operate within a network of sociocultural influences to shape life paths. The chapters, written by internationally known experts, cover such concepts as infancy and personal agency, competency through the life span, the role of family, and cross-cultural factors.

An in-depth understanding of self-efficacy This is a scholarly work that provides an in-depth understanding of the concept of self-efficacy. I am richer for having read it.
great overview This book is very clearly written. Bandura does a great job of addressing self-efficacy theory in different societal contexts (education, family, health). I highly recommend it both as an academic resource and as a personal read for anyone is interested in thinking about their perceived level of control shapes their life outcomes.
It is the author’s own writing that makes it fantastic to read I’ve read about the Self-Efficacy theory many times before, in research, in textbooks, and from faculty, but this book explains everything in the author’s voice and with other researcher’s work. It is impacting reading, things we can relate to in our everyday life and an awesome tool for conducting research. Money well spent. Get your brain ready to theorize and be amazed.
